Crustacean C.A.R.E. Coalition Sister Site

The Crustacean C.A.R.E. Coalition Sister Site program employs a membership process that includes an application and final web site review. Approved sites are referred to as Sister Sites. Sites will be given a logo to display on their website that immediately identifies them as a reliable source.

The CCC adheres to a Code of Ethics.  Sites who do not conform with the CCC requirements or violate our Code of Ethics will be expelled from the program. This process is governed by LHOCS Board of Directors.

There is overlap that occurs naturally between Sister Sites, as we all have the same mission which is to provide up to date and accurate information. All Sister Sites agree to the core standards of care as outlined in our Basic Hermit Crab Care Sheet.
